Thermal controller with user-friendly PC software
Oven Industries’ Model 5R7-350/347 thermal controller is designed to operate with thermoelectric (Peltier effect) modules.
Oven Industries’ Model 5R7-350/347 thermal controller is designed to operate with thermoelectric (Peltier effect) modules. Most modules may be operated in either a cooling mode or a heating mode depending on current direction. The 5R7-350/347 thermal controller may be field configured for either of these operating modes. Either a fixed or adjustable proportional bandwidth and integral rate permits optimizing individual thermal systems. Additional external heat sinking will permit operating load currents in excess of 10 amperes.
The thermal controllers are available in both an open board construction or encapsulated on a mounting plate with various configuration options available.

Annual Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
